Favorite Uncommitted Recruit in '09

[irishmarine]

if charlie gets to his dad (hopefully he does) i think that would be something no other university could hold a torch to. rock on charlie. he cant talk to kids but he'll fly across the world and into a combat zone to whisper in a parents ear. ya gotta love this guy hahahaha

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Wow, that would be great if CW could talk to his dad, I just read the SBT this morning and it had a nice article on CW in Iraq. He recruits as hard as anybody in the country. CW is bringing in immense talent.

 

[notredomer23]

Mine is now Shaq Evans

 

[Irishlew]

Te'o...can you imagine Te'o and Calabrese in the middle for the next 4-5 years?

 

[notredomer23]

Te'o for 7 actually haha. He has to take a 2 year mission.

Wouldn't four years eligibility and a two year mission equal six years??:smilewink

Hmmmm... are we going with the Carlos Huerta Miami plan?

 

[notredomer23]

5th year senior

 

[irishmarine]

who cares let teo go on his expedition and that would give carlo time to run the show and by the time he gets back carlo will me a monster and teo can study under him

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Yea Manti is the type of talent that CW would wait as long as he needed to...kid has some serious talent. It'd be great to see us get a kid from Hawaii...especially a 5 star LB who would require a lot of attention and game-planning against!

 

[irishmarine]

just to break into that usc dominated area would be great. and to get a 5* at that. ppssshhh and then develope him into a great linebacker

Yeah, Teo would probably be CW's most coveted defensive recruit in his tenure as head coach

 

[irishmarine]

on offense i think i would go with nixon. or another beast of a tackle. but for now i like nixon. him and trev side by side. just close your eyes and think about it.....ahhhhhhh its that nice

 

[Irish52]

Rueben Randle, WR, Has the size, the speed, the elusiveness and the character worthy of a ND player. Enough said!

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Yea Randle looks like a big time stud but there is no way we get him...we I can't say that but he is 99 percent LSU bound..I still take Shaq Evans, he could be the perfect mix with his size to go along with our tall WRs in Floyd and Kamara...he and Walker in the slot in 4 WR sets would cause never ending headaches for opposing coaches....

 

[BDIrish4ever]

I guess we all like the tall receivers...

Clause2Kamara - Evans
Irish52 - Randle
BDIrish4ever - Brown

 

[irishmarine]

all that flash is nice but it has to be won in the treches. jc and dc are gonna need time to throw the ball to these monsters out on the flank and running down the fuield. i say ot and i like nixon

You are absolutely correct irishmarine, but let us not forget what this thread is trying to do. This is a thread for your favorite uncommitted recruit; there is not a wrong answer or opinion. As an ex-lineman myself, I understand the importance of winning the battle in the trenches and I believe CW has done a good job of addressing the issues of talent up front. However, big time skill players who excel in a program tend to give that program a boost in recruiting across the board. The media attention given these players, whether deserved or not, is worth its weight in gold.

Agreed. Just look what JC's committment did to our recruiting class. Every top player wants to play with other top players especially from their same recruiting class. To get a flashy type guy like Evans, Randle, or Te'o would be huge because not only would we be landing a potential superstar, but we are also getting other top kids attention to jump on the bandwagon.

 

[irishmarine]

great point made by both of you. i am just a fan of a monster lineman. as much as we could use some positive publicity about our team (and i hope it does come in the form of a 5*) i would prefer a lineman. just my opinion. not right or wrong. but hell lets just get them all here so we can step on the trogans throats until they bleed from the eyes...

 

[irishmarine]

sorry about that got a little excited and zoned out. my bad and i appologise to all women and children reading this.

Why are you apologizing? My wife and kids want to see the Trojans bleed from the eyes!

 

[irishmarine]

Hah. Good stuff. I feel the same way, I lived in SC country for almost 11 years and I could not stand those arrogant douche bags..Its funny cuz when were were dominating them in the 90's, the stadium was half empty and now all of a sudden ppl started claiming they were SC fans when they started winning...what a joke of a program...even if we do lose 9 games for 10 straight years, I will still be a die hard Irish fan and be proud of what ND represents...

 

[irishmarine]

DAMNR IGHT. THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! for the sanity of my own brian thogh i hope that never happens

 

[BDIrish4ever]

I agree irishmarine that I hope we never lose 9 games, but I can guarantee that as long as there is breath in this body, this family will always love and be loyal to Notre Dame!

LOL, reps

I'm in California, so I cast votes for all of them, and my "undocumented" dog, who is already dead, casts votes for all of them too!

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Wow, if we landed those top 3, it would almost certainly be another top 10 class! I'd be happy if we snagged one.

 

[coachjohnson]

I would like to have a few of them, but my favorite out of the bunch is marlon brown, this kid is sick, check him out on you tube. Although it looks like Tennessee has the inside track I still keep the faith.
